    • RE: 💬 Distance Sensor

      Thanks. Due to some bad dupont cable connection the program was not entering the void loop() and not printing to the console. Was not aware about a hardware serial print. It is stable now.

    • RE: Low power Distance Sensor - Hardware issues

      @qqlapraline Just use a 5V pro mini and get rid of level converter and mosfet!
      Power the 5V HC-SR04 sonar with a pro mini digital pin.
      Switch on the sonar for doing a measurement and then switch off again and put the promini to sleep till the next measurement.

    • RE: Serial gateway and NRF24 and repeater mode

      @mfalkvidd Thanks for confirming about the BC message being normal protocol.
      I have used the log parser (great!) and the trouble shooting flowchart (great!).
      I am currently powering thru USB but as the comms problem is intermittend I need some further investigation.

    • New 2.2.0 Signal report function

      How can I implement the new 2.2.0 function

      #define MY_SIGNAL_REPORT_ENABLED
      

      Should it be defined in the node and/or the gateway?
      Can it be used with NRF24?
      How is the RSSI value reported?
      Could not find a writeup on this new function.

    • RE: sendBatteryLevel not showing up in HA dasboard

      @mvader Thanks, have a problem translating you example to my situation

      This is the card were I want to add the battery_level:

       - type: entities
              title: Levelmeter breed 
              show_header_toggle: false
              entities:
                - entity: sensor.n60breed_20_54
                  name: Battery (V)
                  icon: mdi:battery 
                - entity: sensor.n60breed_20_50
                  name: Temperature
                  icon: mdi:temperature-celsius
                - entity: sensor.n60breed_20_51
                  name: Humidity
                  icon: mdi:water-percent
                - entity: sensor.n60breed_20_52
                  name: Bar
                - entity: sensor.n60breed_20_53
                  name: Waterlevel (cm)
      

      I played around with the following entry in configuration.yaml

      sensor:
        - platform: template
          sensors:
          n60breed_20_55:
          entity_id: sensor.n60breed_20_53
          value_template: "{{ states.sensor.n60breed_20_53.attributes.battery_level }}"
          unit_of_measurement: '%'
      

      but could not get it to work! Did not find any docs on platform Template.
      Please advice

    • RE: sendBatteryLevel not showing up in HA dasboard

      @mfalkvidd
      Thanks, yes your solution could work. Also a voltage divider with a seperate child-id could work.

      But my point is that the Arduino battery_level value is already available in the mysensors.json in Home Assistant.

      "type": 17,
              "sketch_name": "N60Breed",
              "sketch_version": "1.0",
              "battery_level": 91,
              "protocol_version": "2.3.1",
              "heartbeat": 0
      

      I just don't know how to get the battery_level value presented in the HA UI.

      @alaskadiy No solution still.... I doubt if it has been implemented in the interface

    • RE: sendBatteryLevel not showing up in HA dasboard

      Can anybody help my with how to display the MySensors sendBatteryLevel percentage on the HA user interface.
      The percentage appears correctly in Home Assistant Developertools - States- Attrributes.
      how to get this attribute displayed on the UI?

    • RE: sendBatteryLevel not showing up in HA dasboard

      @mfalkvidd I had seen that discussion on the mysensors forum.
      I my case the battery level % shows up correctly in the HA entities list attributes.
      It just does not show up on the HA Console.
      Have never seen it on the HA Console. What should I expect to see?

    • RE: Invalid configuration on hassio

      HASSIO 0.70 on RPi with serial gateway attached still having configuration check problem with mysensors when executing

      hassio ha check
      

      This is what I did to try to solve:

      • Deleted the configuration.yaml and the mysensors.json

      • Restarted the RPi and hassio installed the default configuration.yaml

      • Added the following mysensors configuration to the default configuration.yaml

      mysensors:
        gateways:
          - device: '/dev/ttyUSB0'
            persistence_file: 'mysensors.json'
        persistence: true
        retain: true
        version: '2.2'
      
      • Restarted the Rpi and checked that hassio had installed the mysensors.json in the /config directory
        All my sensors were added to the mysensors.json

      • The whole system seems to work OK!

      • However when I run "hassio ha check" on the RPi I get the following error:

      core-ssh:~# hassio ha check
      ERROR

      • There are no errors in the system log! According to the log the system is reading and writing fine to and from the mysensors.json

      • The secondary annoyance from this problem is the fact that I cannot reload the configuration file after a change. The only way to reload the configuration file is by powering off/on the RPi

      • I added an issue on github: https://github.com/home-assistant/hassio/issues/478

      Any help appreciated

    • RE: Invalid configuration on hassio

      I am now at 0.69.1 HASS on Rpi and still having configuration check problem.

      This is my configuration:

      mysensors:
        gateways:
          - device: '/dev/ttyUSB0'
            persistence_file: '/config/mysensors.json'
            baud_rate: 115200
        optimistic: false
        persistence: true
        retain: true
        version: '2.0'
      
      

      And this is the configuration check ERROR:

      core-ssh:~# hassio ha check
      ERROR
      starting version 3.2.4
      Testing configuration at /config
      Failed config
        mysensors:
          - Invalid config for [mysensors]: /config directory does not exist or is not writeable for dictionary value @ data['mysensors']['gateways'][0]['persistence_ file']. Got /config/mysensors.json'
      not a valid value for dictionary value @ data['mysensors']['gateways'][0]['device'].
      Got '/dev/ttyUSB0'. (See /config/configuration.yaml, line 85). Please check the docs at https://home-assistant.io/components/mysensors/
      

      A secondary result of this error is the restarting the Rpi does NOT load a new configuration!
      The only way to load a new configuration file is to power off/on the Rpi.

      However all the rest seems to funtion well !?

      Really need help with this.
